With which the strong man gets hold of the golf club? (4,2,4)

I believe the answer is:

grip of iron

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'with which the strong man' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'hold of the golf club?' is the wordplay.
'hold' becomes 'grip' (synonyms).
'the golf club?' becomes 'iron' (type of golf club).
'grip'+'of'+'iron'='GRIP OF IRON'

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
